Some details onexperiments 3 and 4 are now given. Students build a first order lowpass filter [11] as shown inFigure 1. The component values are R1 = R2 = 1000 ohms and C = 0.47 microfarads. This resultsin a cutoff frequency of 338.63 Hz. The transfer function T(s) (Laplace transform domain) isderived along with an expression for the magnitude of the frequency response.

ASCE-sponsored faculty development program for C.E. faculty.The CFD was expected to create a high quality faculty development program to improve theteaching effectiveness of civil engineering faculty.Starting in fall of 1998, the CFD met and developed a plan for a quick start and planned for along-term comprehensive program. The quick start consisted of delivering a workshop at theUnited State Military Academy at West Point during the summer of 1999 known as the ExCEEdTeaching Workshop ’99 (ETW99). The starting point for the WestPoint ETW program was thehighly successful T4E (Teaching Teachers to Teach Engineering) program, which was developedat the U. S. Military Academy and sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The ETW99was a

These approaches are explained in Table 2. Power levelswere specified as a percentage of the user-defined maximum input into the Sycon controller.Observations and Experimental FindingsMethod 1: Manual Linear IncreaseWith this method, the general trend was long deposition times of 30 minutes or more, lowdeposition rates (typically below 5 Å/s), and poor reproducibility.

Face validity examines the operationalization at face value to determinewhether it is a good translation of the construct [26], while content validity examines theoperationalization compared to the construct’s relevant content area(s) (i.e., the appearance thatthe instrument measures what it is intended to measure) [27].Survey items were written by the first author and then reviewed and critiqued by various groups.The authors’ research lab group initially provided feedback on the survey questions’ clarity andreadability, and whether the items are relevant and right for measurement.

Procrastinationis especially prevalent among novice online learners, specifically the male traditionalcampus-based undergraduate student.

Procrastinators had reduced grades (6% lower or an average “A” to“B+/A-” transition) for weekly reflection activities. Males were more susceptible tonegative consequences in

resultscollected during laboratory time will be presented. The use of such systems in senior ProcessControl class and Unit Operations Laboratory class greatly enhances student learning.Introduction In engineering education, one of the tasks for instructors is to bridge the “gap” betweentheory and practice for students. For years, the traditional approach adopted in most controlcurriculum is to develop dynamic models of systems using Laplace transform as the keyanalytical tool. While this approach is mature and many tuning rules have been developed forindustrial application, students tend to consider Process Control as another course inmathematics in which the usual time domain is transformed to an abstract Laplace s-domain.

[3] view SB as a multidimensional construct encompassing classbelonging, university belonging, professors’ pedagogical caring, and social acceptance,suggesting that measuring SB should be approached by asking questions that correspond to eachof these dimensions. Given the diversity of conceptual definitions of SB, it is reasonable toanticipate the presence of multiple measurement instruments for this construct.
